Increasing the Mobility of Audio-Tutorial Programs The usual audio-tutorial program consists of a collection of slides supplemented hy a cassette tape narration. We have modified this organization by replacing the collection of slides with a three ring binder containing mounted 5 X I in. black and white photographs. The result is an audio-tutorial program that cmts less and is mare mobile. Freed from the requirement of a projector and screen, the "Photohook"-cassette combination can he used in the library, laboratory, or instrument room. The average investment per program has been about $20 for supplies, and 25 man-hr to take, develop, print, and edit the photographs.
